involves the community. The network is a forum for learning about,
advancing, and sharing ideas and information regarding community-based
research.

The network receives support from UVM’s Office of Community-University Partnerships and Service Learning (CUPS) and is coordinated by an executive committee made up of faculty, staff, and students.

CPAR Network is an alliance of UVM affiliates with local, national and
international partners who seek to support and advance participatory
action research conducted in partnership with, and for the benefit of,
the larger community.
